Package: postgresql-common
Version: 74
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


"/etc/init.d/postgresql-7.4 stop" blocks indefinitely for me, making a clean 
system shutdown impossible without altering the 
script.
The first time, this forced my to power-off my machine which could possibly 
lead to filesystem corruption.

The problem seems to be that pg_ctl of postgresql-7.4 fails and 
/usr/bin/pg_ctlcluster does not give the slightest hint 
that something is wrong but simply blocks.

If I comment out close STDOUT just before the pg_ctl call, the following 
appears on the console:

/usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/bin/pg_ctl: line 298: expr: Datei oder Verzeichnis 
nicht gefunden
/usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/bin/pg_ctl: line 299: [: : integer expression expected
/usr/lib/postgresql/7.4/bin/pg_ctl: line 307: sleep: Datei oder Verzeichnis 
nicht gefunden
(endlessly repeated)

I'm not sure what's causing this - my default system shell /bin/sh is bash, as 
on most other Debian systems I guess, and the 
code looks like valid sh / bash script code to me.

However, it's deadly that pg_ctlcluster does not notice that pg_ctl failed.
